Tony Bennett, the Muppets, Regina Spektor, Fitz & the Tantrums and Sarah McLachlan will be among the celebrities and artists celebrating at the 90th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City this year.

Jumping on the emoji trend, Macy's also released a series of Thanksgiving Day Parade stickers, available for iOS and Android.

The parade begins on Nov. 24 at 9 a.m. The 2.5-mile route starts at 77th Street at Central Park, and continues down Sixth Avenue before finishing at Macy's Herald Square. It will also air live on NBC's "Today" show.

Celebrating its ninth decade, Macy's will also produce a television commercial to debut later this month, showcasing the event's role throughout history and across generations.

The first parade was held in 1924, and stands as the second-oldest Thanksgiving Parade in the country. (The top honor goes to the 6ABC Dunkin' Donuts Thanksgiving Day Parade in Philadelphia, which began in 1920.)
